Subject: BS: Mudcat Story Writers, what say you?
I have been looking over a lot of the old story threads and, once again, been blown away by the fantastic writing and creativity in them. I have also been doing a lot in the book business these past few years. It occurred to me, in reading the stories, we have so many that are so damn good, it's a shame they are not in some condensed form, i.e. edited and published in book form. I know it would be a huge project to edit each one and I know we've talked in general, way back when, about publishing Mudcat books, but I don't think we've ever focussed just on the story threads before.

With everyone's permission, I think I'd like to choose just one to begin with to edit down into readable form, without the asides, etc. and see what comes of it. I have nine more ISBN numbers of we get serious. I think there is a market for this kind of stuff, with or without any musical reference. Good, fun novels are hard to find and I think we have the potential.

Anyway, how do all of you feel about it?

Thanks,
